“We searched all over the web and found Worldwide’s 3D Designer Tool that made it very easy for us to customize every aspect of our building. We spent hours playing with it. Our building expert Kody was great to work with and very helpful. He added the eave extensions to our design, which made the building look like more than just a garage. After that, we submitted our design for a quote and we were sold!”

In the Buxton Family Recreation building, people enjoy an indoor swimming pool in a large room with open garage doors. Some swim or use pool noodles, while others relax poolside. A woman sits in the foreground, and outdoor tents and greenery are visible through the open doors.

Foundation Creation

Step 1

Creating foundation walls first is an option where the outer walls of the foundation are set before gravel and concrete is poured inside the walls.

Timing is essential to get the finished concrete style you want if you plan to leave the concrete exposed or stain it with color.

Building Installation

Since I own a sign company, we had access to boom/crane trucks, a bucket lift and a scissor lift. Basically, our signage crew installed the building over several Saturdays and it worked out great.
